While Makerbot IS a massive 3D printing company, they own an even larger 3D printing community (Thingiverse). Thingiverse is a MASSIVE collection of 3D Printing designs, that has thousands of users. Because of this, Makerbot never really needs to design anything! However, when they do, it is usually pretty great… One of their models is called “Cute Octopus Says Hello”. It’s cute, and it’s saying hello! I recently found this model, and I couldn’t resist printing it… The model turned out pretty nicely, with minimal layering near the top.
